We've looked at the "what", now let's dive into the "why". Why is this guy so successful?
He demands excellence. When he takes over a program he expects nothing less.
"I think the community expects a good team, the student body expects a good team, and we expect a good team. It's very important to come out first, full of passion, energy and juice".
When excellence is expected, nothing else can be offered and expected to be accepted.
Urban Meyer never expects to be outworked. This extends past his opponent's coaches and players, past his own coaches and players, and past his own expectations.
"Back as a player, I was always the hardest working guy. I would be so upset with myself if I wasn't. Was I the best? I was average, but I outworked everybody. As a coach, am I the smartest? No. But I believe that in a lot of areas I outwork a lot of guys".
You don't have to be the most talented, just the hardest worker.
Ask a man a question, he'll give you an answer; Give that man a Blog and he'll spew for the rest of his life.
